Manufacturers experiencing excessive scrap-causing mistakes is a signal of an assembly process control issue. How can engineers and quality teams actively work to reduce the amount of scrap generated from a poor fastening process? Manufacturers can minimize and eliminate waste and improve operations processes with a process improvement initiative. Advances in torque fastening technology are…
Brushless electric screwdrivers are an effective solution for engineers to mitigate manufacturing risks, low productivity, and high product scrap rates. As production demands ramp up, electric torque screwdrivers allow manufacturers to increase productivity, lower costs, and reduce product defects. Electric torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and to ensure product quality, cost savings,…
In the manufacturing and assembly world, tightening, controlling, or measuring torque on fasteners is imperative for production efficiency. An inadequately torqued fastener can vibrate or work loose; conversely, if the tension is too high, it can snap or strip its threads. Faced with these problems, manufacturers realize that precise torque control can distinguish between a…
Measuring dynamic torque requires a solution that evaluates both the power tool’s performance and the fastening joint application. A rotary torque sensor is used mainly to measure the torque output of power tools, including electric, pulse, and continuous pneumatic tools. Rotary torque sensors are mounted in line with the tool’s drive. It’s an instrument that quickly…
Lack of torque control has caused vehicle wheel detachment, failures of life-saving medical instruments, and malfunctions of electronic devices. Engineers risk product failures and escalating scrap rate costs in their manufacturing process without torque control. To many manufacturers, understanding the various elements of torque control needs to be more noticed and understood. Manufacturers must have…
Every manufacturing company should have a quality management system (QMS). In many industries, it’s required by law. In every industry, it’s common sense—without a system to detect production errors, any little mistake on the line can become a big problem once the product leaves your facility. Modern manufacturing companies must systemize their quality management to…
There are various “Preset” and “Adjustable” click wrenches, but selecting the correct industrial click wrench for your application depends on your process requirements. Preset click wrenches are ideal for production applications where consistent torque is critical. Adjustable click wrenches are suitable for fastening applications where quick torque setting adjustments are necessary for fasteners of different…
